Yes, I do! Steering is much tighter in sport mode as well as the shift points are more aggressive. Others will say it is just a placebo effect, but when I have it in sport mode to me it feels like the entire car stiffens up (suspension, steering, brakes). When I hit bumps in sport mode, you can really feel them where in normal mode it is much less noticable.

M Package in my opinion is what you are looking for in the vehicle. I personally thought the black trim around the wheels made the vehicle look cheap even with the sport package wheels. As pointed out previously there is very little additional performance added unlike the M version of most vehicles.

I am anxious to see production at the anticipated actual true X3 M version.
